Lyrics of Corcovado - Quatuor Ébène, Stacey Kent

Corcovado (original)

Quiet nights of quiet stars
Quiet chords from my guitar
Floating on the silence that surrounds us
Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams
Quiet walks by quiet streams
And a window that looks out on Corcovado
Oh, how lovely
Um cantinho, violo
Esse amor, uma cancao
Pra fazer feliz j que se ama
Muita calma pra pensar
E ter tempo pra sonhar
Da janela v-se o Corcovado
O Redentor, que lindo
Quero a vida sempre assim
Com voce perto de mim
Ate o apagar da velha chama
E eu, que era triste
Descrente desse mundo
Ao encontrar voce eu conheci
O que a felicidade, meu amor
Quero a vida sempre assim
Com voce perto de mim
At o apagar da velha chama
E eu, que era triste
Descrente desse mundo
Ao encontrar voce eu conheci
O que a felicidade, meu amor

(translation)

Quiet nights of quiet stars
Quiet chords from my guitar
Floating on the silence that surrounds us
Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams
Quiet walks by quiet streams
And a window that looks out on Corcovado
oh how lovely
A corner, guitar
This love, a song
To make you happy since you love yourself
very calm to think
And having time to dream
From the window you can see the Corcovado
The Redeemer, how beautiful
I want life always like this
With you close to me
Until the extinguishing of the old flame
And I, who was sad
disbeliever of this world
When I met you, I met
What happiness, my love
I want life always like this
With you close to me
Until the extinguishing of the old flame
And I, who was sad
disbeliever of this world
When I met you, I met
What happiness, my love
